On The Road
1 – 31 July, 2010  (10AM – 10PM)

Communities in Winnipeg and Manitoba
A ROVING ART PROJECT COMING TO A COMMUNITY NEAR YOU!

On the Road is the brainchild of five of Winnipeg’s Artist-Run Centres: Platform: centre for photographic + digital arts, aceartinc., Video Pool Media Arts Centre, La Maison Des Artistes Visuels Francophones, and Urban Shaman: Contemporary Aboriginal Art.

This project is dedicated to the dissemination of contemporary art by cultural producers to diverse communities in Winnipeg and Manitoba in July of 2010. We wish to promote equal access to art and the organizations from which it is disseminated. Thus we are committed to bringing contemporary art to people who have limited access to it due to geographical barriers.

A 1976 Air Stream Trailer will be the shining, silver heart of On The Road, a rip-roaring contemporary art project led by architect Lancelot Coar. Branching from the trailer will be a huge, spidery, fiberglass and fabric frame that will, with community participation, morph into beautiful and strange structures to house a temporary art space. Within the structure we will showcase videos by Manitoban artists, lead art making workshops, and performances by The Abzurbs, a group of mayhem music makers. Each community is warmly invited to help raise the structure and make it their own for the duration of On The Road’s stay.

July 1:  LAUNCH PARTY @ La Maisons des artistes visuels (219 Provencher Blvd), Winnipeg

July 2: Urban Barn @ Kenaston Blvd + McGillivray, Winnipeg

July 16 + 17: St. Claude, Manitoba

July 20, 21 + 22: Peguis, Manitoba July 24 + 25: Victoria Beach, Manitoba

On The Road (En route)

Une exposition ambulante au Manitoba au cours de l’été 2010

On The road/En route invite les artistes contemporains de venir transformer une caravane ‘airstream’ en un espace d’exposition pour une période de un à quatre mois l’été prochain. La proposition sélectionnée prendra en considération les relations communautaires, les réalités rurales, la culture des artistes autogérés et les spécificités d’une galerie ambulante ayant une emphase sur l’excellence artistique.

Au sujet de On The Road/En route

Ce projet est dédié à la diffusion de l’art contemporain de diverses communautés de Winnipeg au Manitoba par l’entremise des producteurs culturels. Nous espérons pouvoir promouvoir et permettre l’accès à l’art ainsi qu’aux organismes qui le diffusent. Nous sommes alors engagés à livrer l’art contemporain aux gens qui y ont un accès limité dû à des barrières géographiques. Notre point de vue est que l’art renforcit les communautés par l’entremise de l’inspiration, de la provocation et de la conversation. Les projets qui démontrent l’excellence artistique ainsi que des connaissances et un intérêt par rapport : aux Premières nations, aux francophones, au multimédia, à la photographie et aux communautés LGBT auront priorité.

En route est l’idée originale de cinq centres gérés par des artistes de Winnipeg : Platform: centre for photographic + digital arts, aceartinc., Video Pool, La Maison des artistes et Urban Shaman Gallery.

PDF of this event

aceartinc. is up for anything for 16 days in July.

Artists and non-artists will experiment / do same-old, same-old/reinvent the space/go nuts/be subtle/do something interesting.

This event is inspired by the terrific fun we had at aceartinc. with the übersuper events that took place on Alexandre David’s installation ‘Over Here’ last July and by Eryn Foster’s ‘35 Days Of Non Organised Art’ that she programmed at Eyelevel Gallery in May last year. The free, off the cuff happenings these two things engendered spurred us onto providing circumstances for more of this good stuff to occur.

(please note these days and times may change, so check regularly our web and facebook page)…

Bonefeather

Callum Paterson + Nathan Gilliss   |   July 2nd – August 18, 2010

in the new aceart intern programming areas Emily’s Cove & Suez Gallery

Opening Reception: Friday July 2nd, 2010, 7pm

“Callum “Kyd” Paterson and Nathan “Houston” Gilliss are super-stylie animators out to destroy the earth with their pizzazz. Their production company, Public Ritual, makes multi-media video that combines STOP-motion, punk drawings, and weird ideas with their digital prowess. Callum is a former tree-planter turned musical prodigy. Nathan moved here from Kentucky to dominate Emily Carr. Headquarters for Public Ritual is a flashy studio filled with stringed instruments and lights and cameras and drawings and a French chick sewing fashion in the corner.  BoneFeather, their debut film, has garnered tons of attention at TIFF’s children’s festival and at student festivals across the US and Canada, most likely for what Callum calls ‘the notion of awkward sexuality in the imaginary natural kingdom.’ There is something about Public Ritual that is a little bit dangerous, a little bit genius, and totally hawt. And, they gave birth to Jesus.”

The co-curators of this project are Emily Doucet (University of Winnipeg) and Suzanne Morrissette (Ontario College of Art and Design), both currently interning at aceartinc. With this exhibition they are exploring the use of experimental programming space outside of the traditionally used spaces of aceartinc. ‘Emily’s Cove’ (located in the front stairwell) and ‘Suez Gallery’ (located by the washrooms) are the spaces to be employed in this project. By incorporating a portion of the set and materials used in the creation of the short film ‘Bonefeather’ the curators hope to entertain new possibilities for video display and introduce the sculptural and multi-media elements involved in the production of stop-motion animation.
